What is the reason for nausea and vomiting?


My gf is having nausea and vomiting for the last one year or so. Doctors can not find anything wrong. She has about 10 episodes of nausea and about two vomiting per month. Of course she is not pregnant.

Do you have any experience or knowledge about such cases?
----------

maybe its the food she's eating. or she has a sensitive throat that can get irritated easily. You vomit easier when you're feeling weak, so she should eat proper foods, and make sure she takes all her supplements. Stay hydrated, and remember to tell her to get some fresh air. that always helps  (+ info)

How can i avoid vomiting and a big time headache after drinking heavily the night before?


I get big time vomiting of bitter yellow liquids, abdominal spasms, headache, weakness when i wake up after a drinking spree. How can I avoid this? I guess its not nomal, since most people do not experience these when they drink a lot. It is like a hangover, but an extereme form. I am just really so tired of this from happening everytime I have a good time with friends.
----------

drink water or gatorade before going to bed...........and it's sound crazy, but eat a banana - i haven't had a hangover since i tried this!!

whatever you do - DO NOT take tylenol after drinking - the two combined can cause renal failure!

**to the RN who says tylenol doesn't cause renal failure - that's funny, i had a best friend DYE from it at age 23...........it can also cause liver failure...........and i am also a medical professional with a B.S. degree...........  (+ info)

What tablets can be taken to stop vomiting in early pregnancy?


My wife is vomiting for almost 90 days,she was tested pregnancy positive , she was advised by doctor not to take strong tablets because it might cause abortion.Please can you advise me on which drugs she should take to completely stop the vomiting?
----------

I have three children and am currently pregnant. I have vomited from conception to delivery for all four pregnancies. There are a couple different medications out there. First off, prenatal vitamins usually have a lot of iron which can increase nausea and vomitting so maybe she could try premisis. It is a prenatal vitamin that has lower iron levels but still all the other nutrients. Also there is phenegren, which comes in a pill and a suppository. Which I know suppositories don't sound fun but if she is vomitting all the time she may not be able to keep a pill down. My saving grace has been a med called Zofran ODT. It is a dissolvable tablet so it hits her blood stream without going through her stomach. It is used for chemo patients to help stop their nauseau. These are both prescriptioan medications but if she is losing weight and probly getting dehydrated you shouldn't have a problem finding a doc to prescribe them. I have had two different ob docs and both felt comfortable with me taking them due to my severe morning sickness. Good luck and I hope she feels better.  (+ info)

How can I settle and upset stomach and vomiting with a stomach bug?


I absolutely HATE vomiting, more than anybody I know. I am deathly scared of it. Everything about it, smell, look, sound, taste, feeling, everything. I've tried pineapple it did nothing. I heard flat ginger ale actually doesn't work, and powerade and such isactuallyy bad for you. Now I am asking, is there anything thatactuallyy works to sooth a stomach and help prevent vomiting??? :(
----------

Powerade is not bad for you, unless you drink enough of it to flush all of the electrolytes out of your system (marathon runners can do this if they drink too much). Just drink enough to stay hydrated, try to eat something mild, and don't force yourself to eat or drink too much. I find mild foods like noodle soup, toast, yogurt, and ice cream to be soothing to the stomach. Fruits like pineapple are high in acid and can upset your stomach if you eat them on an empty stomach. Ginger helps many people; try finding ginger chewy candy at an Asian grocery store or ginger ale made with real ginger (artificial ginger flavor won't work).

If the nausea is still bad, Benadryl (allergy medicine) and Dramamine (for seasickness and nausea) are two effective over-the-counter anti-nausea medications. They both have side effects, one of which is extreme drowsiness, so don't take them if you might need to drive or be alert for anything. They might knock you right out. Read the entire label and don't take them if you have any contraindications.

If you've been sick for a few days and you aren't getting better, you should visit your doctor to make sure it isn't something more serious.  (+ info)

With the winter vomiting virus, do you feel very weak before the vomiting?


I have been feeling weak and a little nauseous all day. I am struggling to keep my head up.

I have looked on several websites and doesn't mention any symptoms before the vomiting.

If I ask the question here, I would get answers from those who have had it or had family or friends suffering from it.
----------

Just because you are nauseas, that doesn't mean that you have Norwalk virus.

The symptoms usually come pretty fast (vomiting and/or diarhhea)


Yes, you are very weak with it.


Here are ways to prevent it:

Just remember that hand sanitizers will not kill this virus.House hold cleaners such as Lysol will also not kill you.You must use bleach.

The Norwalk virus is known as the nasty 24 hour bug that causes explosive and sudden diarrhea and projectile vomiting.Usually non life threating but can cause complications in the very young,elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

PREVENTION-Wash your hands before preparing food/eating food and most importantly, TOUCHING YOUR MOUTH/NOSE/EYES.

The ONLY way to become infected with this virus is if you ingest the contaminated fecal/vomit particles through your eyes,nose and mouth.

It is impossible to "breathe" in the virus BUT possible to become infected by breathing in aerosol "spray" droplets from someone vomiting right next to you.(the droplets settle within minuted but can still infect someone until cleaned with bleach)

Even if your whole family breaks out with this virus, you can prevent it by washing your hands for at least 15-20 seconds with warm water and soap.Remember that you are not killing the virus, you are washing it down the drain even if you use an antibacterial soap (which only kills bacteria, not viruses) hand sanitizers are also not successful in killing the virus.

If a member of your family comes down with the virus, let them know to wash their hands AFTER a bowel movement and vomiting.

To clean infected areas, clean with BLEACH.Clean bathrooms (all infected areas) with a bleach solution as soon as possible and be sure to prevent cross contamination and wash your hands afterwards.Especially children! wipe down all commonly touched objects like door knobs, faucet handles, light switches, toilet flushers etc.

People are STILL contagious even after 24 hours after their symptoms settle down so it is always important to wash your hands after the rest room (which you should do anyways!)

The key to staying Norwalk virus free is to keep sanitary.Wash your hands after using the bathroom...you could prevent other peoples misery as well as yours!!

Myths

It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get infected in any of the following ways:

1. Being “near” someone who has it, including co-workers or friends
2. Being on a plane with people who have it
3. Breathing the same air as someone who has it
4. Being in the same building as someone who has it
5. Walking past a pool of vomit on the floor, road or sidewalk
6. Through having sexual relations with an infected person
7. Through a cut in your skin
8. Through your rectum or genitalia (as in, on a toilet)
9. Kissing someone who is not yet showing symptoms (note: it may be possible to catch it from someone who has recently vomited by kissing them, as viral particles may be in their mouth from vomitus. But the virus is NOT transmitted through saliva)
10. Number 6, above, applies similarly to sharing cups or utensils with someone as well.

TIPS:Do not share any cups/plates/utensils with an infected person and be sure to wash in a bleach solution to prevent cross contamination with the rest of your family.

Good luck and stay healthy.

What to do when pregnant woman constantly vomiting?


Hi, my wife in 8th week constantly vomiting and can not eat anything. Luckily she is able to drink water, anything else is just not accepted by the body. Is there any food which could be accepted by pregnant woman?
----------

Gatorade works wonders so does eatting candied ginger and lemon drops. you should take her to the doc though they have stuff to help calm her tummy so she won't throw up as much or at all. she's gotta be able to keep her prenatals down so they can work effectivly on the baby.  (+ info)
